FAQs
What type of runner is the Brooks Glycerin 23 best suited for?
The Glycerin 23 is ideal for neutral runners who prioritize maximum cushioning and comfort, especially for daily training, long runs, and recovery runs.
How does the DNA LOFT v3 cushioning differ from previous versions?
DNA LOFT v3 is an updated version designed to be softer and lighter, offering an even more plush and comfortable underfoot feel compared to earlier iterations.
Can I use these trainers for speed work or racing?
While comfortable, the primary focus of the Glycerin 23 is soft cushioning. Runners who prefer a more responsive or firmer shoe for speed work might find other models better suited, but they can still be used for slower tempo efforts or long races where comfort is key.
Is the upper breathable?
Yes, the renewed engineered mesh upper is designed for excellent breathability, helping to keep your feet cool and dry during your runs.
How do I clean my Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers?
Clean using a mild soap and cold water with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Are these shoes good for trail running?
These trainers are best suited for road running and treadmills. While the outsole offers some durability, they are not specifically designed for the demands of trail running.
What is the primary benefit of the updated design?
The primary benefit is enhanced, extra-soft comfort due to the updated DNA LOFT v3 cushioning and an improved, secure, and ventilated fit from the engineered mesh upper.
Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit upon first wear
The engineered mesh upper is designed to adapt. Wear the shoes for shorter periods initially or with thinner socks to allow them to break in. Ensure you have the correct size; if still uncomfortable, consider a half-size larger.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
Cushioning can lose some of its plushness after extensive use. Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn. Regular cleaning and proper drying can help maintain material integrity.
Foot discomfort during long runs
While designed for comfort, ensure your lacing technique provides adequate support without being too tight. Check if the shoe's neutral support is sufficient for your gait. Consider trying different sock types.
